Chapter 253 Reversal (Two chapters in one)
After killing Gneiss, Ryan hit the poisonous sea snake that bit him with a heavy hammer, which made the poisonous sea snake dizzy on the spot.
Ryan then escaped from the bloody mouth of the poisonous sea snake.
However, at this time, the extremely toxic sea snake's venom also began to take effect, and Ryan could clearly feel a dizziness coming from his brain.
Fortunately, Ryan has the core skill of Breaking Bad, "Anti-Venom Constitution (Passive)", otherwise, I'm afraid he would faint at this moment and die of poisoning in a few moments.
However, when the poisonous sea snake just jumped out of the pool water next to him, Ryan thought about how to solve this problem.
Otherwise, he would not have risked being bitten by the poisonous sea snake and hammered the female four-armed naga to death.
But now it has to be dealt with immediately, and it can't be delayed any longer.
Ryan brought the dizzy poisonous sea snake's head in front of him, and quickly put his hand on the huge sea snake's head, and immediately used the beast sacrifice's signature skill - 'Beast Vitality'.
Suddenly, a surging and surging heat flow was drawn from the large ferocious beast poisonous sea snake into Ryan's body.
This heat flow has the effect of restoring energy and healing injuries, and it also brings people a comfort that is several times more than soaking in a hot spring when the body is tired.
Ryan squinted his eyes, feeling the heat flow quickly flowing in his body, and constantly fighting against the damage of the poison to his body!
On one side is destruction, and on the other side is repair!
Because the large ferocious beast has a very strong vitality, although the upper limit of the vitality and vitality that Ryan can absorb is only 30% of the total amount of the poisonous sea snake, it is also more than the total vitality of a human knight.
Soon, the poison could not resist the heat flow and began to slowly subside.
And the remaining vitality is to rapidly heal the many wounds on Ryan's body caused by the four weapons of Gness.
A few seconds later, when Ryan stood up again, he was full of energy and his injuries had basically recovered.
If most of this heat flow had not been used to offset the damage of the poison, his injuries would have been completely healed at this moment, but now, it is not much different.
As expected, legendary professions are different!
The core skill of the beast sacrificer, "Beast Vitality", is comparable to a divine skill. It can not only restore energy, but also heal injuries.
This time, Ryan used his own poison resistance far beyond that of ordinary people, plus the magnificent vitality drawn from the poisonous sea snake, to offset the opponent's poison damage.
Ryan looked down.
Although the poisonous sea snake was still alive at this time, it was lying on the ground with a listless look. After being hit in the head with a hammer and having a large amount of vitality extracted, it was already dying and unable to move.
However, Ryan was not a soft-hearted person. He immediately used a "shockwave" to open the top of the poisonous sea snake's head, allowing it to follow the footsteps of the female four-armed naga.
Master and servant, of course, must be neat and tidy!
However, after the poisonous sea snake died, Ryan also heard a slight hissing sound in his ears, like a giant snake spitting out its tongue, which disturbed his mind.
Ryan knew that this was the side effect of using "beast vitality", but if it was only used once in a short period of time, it would not have much effect.
After a few hours, the influence of this beast soul will naturally dissipate.
In addition, because he was at the other end of the hall, far away from Alyosha and others, in the dim environment, the other party could only recognize that he bent down, and would mistakenly think that he was searching for spoils, but would not find that he used some strange ability to recover from his injuries.
Without hesitation, Ryan turned around and planned to rescue Alyosha and the imperial colleagues who were also hanging.
However, just as he turned around, Ryan suddenly discovered.
Not far in front of him, there was a long bluestone wall passage that extended deeper into the cave. About a hundred meters away, there was a layer of almost transparent water film that emitted a light blue color.
This layer of light film seemed to isolate the sound!
Otherwise, the two "roaring war cries" that Ryan had just made with extremely loud volume would definitely spread there.
Ryan was curious and immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at it intently.
In the dim light, fortunately Ryan had dark vision, so he could see through the water film and see clearly that there was actually a hall inside, and the style and material were the same as this hall.
But what shocked Ryan inexplicably was that at the end of that hall seemed to be a bronze metal door tens of meters high, and the surface of the door seemed to have complicated patterns and designs.
The pattern looked like shells and conchs?
In front of the metal door, there was an altar whose function was unknown.
There was a brazier around the altar, burning some kind of green flame, and in the middle was a seven or eight meter tall stone multi-armed naga.
The people busy around the altar were unexpectedly humans, not fishmen or blood-cursed naga.
In addition, the robes of these humans were all embroidered with various strange marine life patterns, such as starfish, giant squid and other ferocious sea beasts.
"This seems to be the dress style of the Poseidon Cult?"
Ryan recalled that in the general education courses he had taken, the instructor had talked about some typical cult dress styles.
However, at this time, Ryan's ears moved slightly, and he heard more and more clear noises and fighting sounds coming from behind him.
"It's the group of people in the straight passage before, are they coming?"
This made Ryan react instantly, and it was very likely that the battle in the straight passage before had spread to this place.
So, Ryan did not continue to observe, but immediately turned around, dragging the body of the female blood-cursed naga, and walked towards the row of hanging cages. He planned to rescue the target person Alyosha and the captured imperial colleagues who were hung in the net cages first.
Although he was curious about the bronze gate and the statue, he did not plan to explore it at the moment.
He was very clear about the goal of this mission, which was to rescue Alyosha. Of course, if he could also rescue these imperial colleagues, his mission evaluation might be improved or he might get other rewards.
As for why they dragged the female naga's corpse, it was because Ryan planned to ask them if it was worth merit points or something else.
After all, he felt that this female blood curse naga was very powerful and should be very "valuable"!
At this time, Ryan casually glanced at the system prompt:
[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been improved, experience points +1121]
[Your skill Tokkar Hammer has been improved, experience points +2378]
[You have experienced a battle, Beast Priest (Legendary) experience points +296]
[You have experienced a battle, Weapon Master (Legendary) experience points +1909]
(Note: The above skill experience has enjoyed the 30% increase of the exclusive talent 'Primary Extraordinary Comprehension'.)
[Congratulations, you defeated the powerful enemy and obtained 2 gold skill points! ]
[Congratulations, your Beast Priest (Legendary) career level has been upgraded! 】
"Hmm?"
"The weapon master didn't level up, but the beast priest did?"
"It should be because of the core skill 'beast vitality'?"
"The target is a large ferocious sea beast, so the experience is particularly high?" Ryan had a vague guess.
Ryan looked at the system panel and found that the beast priest (legend) profession level went from lv2 to lv3 (12/500), and the weapon master (legend) was lv7. The progress bar has passed more than half.
Relying on the upgrade of the beast priest (legend), he also gained one attribute point and one skill point again.
Since two points were used in the previous battle, he now has 13 attribute points, 1 skill point, and 2 gold skill points.
When Ryan's figure appeared at one end of the hall, he was still dragging a corpse in his hand.
The people who were hanging couldn't help but cheer!
Although they didn't see clearly how Ryan defeated this powerful naga leader because of the distance, they knew that they were saved!
Even if it was glorious to sacrifice for the empire, if they could survive, none of the people present would choose to be a martyr.
Alyosha clenched his fists, blushed, and murmured excitedly:
"This Lord Ryan is really amazing. I don't know where my father found such an amazing young man!"
At the entrance of the hall.
That is, in the straight passage where Ryan heard the fighting sound before.
The Rock Squad of the Munster Sword Bearer Branch was fighting and retreating. The defensive backbone of the team was a shield-bearing strongman with injuries all over his body and a young man with a short staff.
If Ryan was at the scene, he would definitely recognize these two people.
These two people were the two sword bearers who rode griffins to Meister to deal with the Black Flame Cult.
Behind them were four other men and women in different costumes. They seemed to be members of the same team as the shield-bearing strongman.
However, these people, like their captain, did not look very good. Either their armor was damaged or their clothes were tattered, and their faces were depressed.
In contrast to the exhausted state of the Rock Team, their opponent was led by a female Blood Curse Naga who was very similar to Gness who was killed by Ryan. The other side had a relaxed smile on her beautiful human female face and was unharmed.
Unlike Gness, although this female Naga also had four arms, only one of them held a gray wooden staff about 1.5 meters long with a spiral top.
She was seen waving the wooden staff from time to time, commanding a group of white-scaled fishmen, various sea beasts and seven or eight male Blood Curse Nagas to attack the Rock Team.
The opponent was so powerful, no wonder the Rock Team was beaten so badly.
However, the sea creatures led by this female Naga seemed to be driving the Rock Team away. They did not attack with all their strength, but launched the attack leisurely.
"Captain, there is a fork in the road ahead. The missing imperial military personnel should be there." A man in a gray robe holding a crystal ball said quickly in front of the team.
"You four go in and check it out. Remiel and I will block it here!" the shield-holding sturdy man said in a deep voice.
At this moment, his face was purple, as if he was poisoned.
The Remiel he called was the man with a short staff that Ryan had met once.
When the four members of the team heard Batista's words, they immediately nodded solemnly, knowing that the captain was creating an opportunity for them. Although the entire team has not lost any members, it is already exhausted!
Their team's mission this time was originally to explore the situation of an island altar and investigate the life and death of the elite teams sent by the previous empires.
Unexpectedly, the sea tribe ambushed heavy troops around the altar. In addition, there was a secret under the altar, and there was actually such a deep cave hidden.
Moreover, there were traces of fierce fighting around the cave entrance, as if the Empire's teams had penetrated deep into the cave.
They had rushed all the way here!
Fortunately, judging from the tracking sorcery just cast, the Empire's elite should be nearby.
They followed Captain Batista's words and immediately rushed towards the hall where Ryan was.
A few seconds later, when the four of them quietly entered the hall and carefully checked, they were all stunned!
After a while of looking at each other, they walked into the hall carefully and slowly.
In the hall, what shocked them directly was the circle of white-scaled fishmen lying neatly on the ground in a fan shape! There
were at least 20 or 30 of them so densely packed
that their death could only be described as "spectacular"!
The scene before them made them gasp.
Wow!
What kind of attack caused this?
Even wheat harvesting is not so neat!
Then, they saw the two male blood-cursed Nagas with different deaths.
One of them covered his neck with both hands, lowered his head, and knelt down towards the entrance of the hall, as if he was repenting!
The other one died in an even more exaggerated way!
A silver two-handed sword pierced through the opponent's chest, and the tip of the sword pierced into the hard bluestone floor. Perhaps the sword was too fast when it was stabbed, causing most of the blade to penetrate the body, leaving only the hilt of the sword on the opponent's chest!
This also caused the dead body of the male blood-cursed naga not to fall to the ground, but to be propped up on the ground at an angle, that is, the sword and the opponent's upper body formed the two hypotenuses of a triangle, thus forming a stable mutual support.
When Ryan came over from the other end of the hall, dragging Gness's body, the four members of the Rock Team were already looking at a completely dumbfounded expression!
This... Is this the leader of the blood-cursed naga?
Four arms, a female blood-cursed naga!
There is no mistake.
It seems that all the sea creatures on the ground should have been killed by the young man in front of him.
But the white-scaled fishmen were fine, as were the two male blood-cursed Nagas, and even the Naga leader they were dragging.
That was the Naga leader!
It was still unclear whether their captain could win, but the strength of this young man was too terrifying!
And
how did the other party get here?
It took a lot of hard work for their group to get here.
In an instant, several doubts and questions rose in the minds of the four people.
And Ryan glanced at him, nodded, and did not speak.
When these people saw Ryan nodding at them, they couldn't help but feel flattered, and as if they had received the affirmation of a big shot, they hurriedly nodded twice.
Although Ryan was a little surprised at why these new people were so submissive,
he didn't think much about it, but took back the big sword, and quickly walked to the hanging cage against the wall, and with two "swishes", he split all the net cages and rescued a group of captives.
"Finally got out of trouble! Thank you! Are you Lord Ryan?" One of them asked Ryan kindly after coming out of the cage where he was tied up.
"Huh?" Ryan was startled, a little surprised. He didn't expect that someone here actually knew him.
"It seems that it is really Lord Ryan. My name is Braulio, from the Sword Bearer Crazy Sand Squad. I heard about your feat of knocking down the Obsidian Giant with one hammer during the rookie assessment."
"Braulio, now is not the time to greet each other. Let's go out and talk." Another person who seemed to be his teammate smiled at Ryan, pulled Braulio's sleeve, and nodded towards the entrance of the hall.
"Look, who's here?"
Braulio turned his head at this time, stunned, and said in surprise: "It's Alves and the others from the Rock Squad. I said, no matter how powerful Lord Ryan is, he still needs help, right?"
Ryan was stunned.
Although he didn't know the four people, the Rock Squad?
This name is a bit familiar.
At this time, it seems that Braulio's voice was heard. The four members of the Rock Team ran up to the door of the hall and said, "Braulio, McKinney, we finally found you."
"That. Sir, thank you for your help!" The young man named Alves was impressed by the momentum of Ryan just dragging the Naga leader. He bowed respectfully and said.
"You're welcome. It's just a small favor." Ryan nodded.
"Alves, don't you know Mr. Ryan?" Braulio and McKinney, the two brothers rescued by Ryan, looked at each other in confusion.
Because they both thought of a question at the same time, that is, "Are you Alyosha?" "Yes, Sir Ryan , thank you for saving me.
" "You are my father." Alyosha looked at Ryan with curiosity, and asked the question in his heart. "Yes, follow me later, we will talk about it when we go out." Ryan smiled. He found that the girl in front of him had a bright round face , thin lips, and a small black mole on the lower left corner of her mouth. She looked like a girl next door, very friendly. "Yes, Sir Ryan. " Alyosha smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously. It feels so good to be saved from a desperate situation! The seven elite soldiers of the empire who were rescued by Ryan were all stunned after accidentally hearing the conversation between Ryan and Alyosha.
Several people first looked at the four "ragged" friendly soldiers, and then looked at Ryan who was talking to Alyosha, and suddenly realized that these four should be the real rescue team, and Sir Ryan was actually here to rescue Alyosha.
And they were just here for
a while, and several people felt inexplicably emotional!
It's great to have a great father who can send such a great person to rescue.
If it was before Sir Ryan came, even if these four young men came in, they would have followed their footsteps and all would have been hung in the net cage.
"Oh no, I forgot that the captain is still at the door of the hall." Alves slapped his thigh hard, and he remembered that he was so shocked that he forgot that Captain Batista and Remier were still blocking the enemy.
Just as Alvis was about to ask everyone to leave, he immediately thought of something and quickly ran to Ryan and said, "Sir Ryan, and this lady, let's leave here immediately."
"Our captain is blocking the pursuing sea creatures in the passage. He can't hold on for long!"
"Of course." Ryan nodded. He was also thinking this.
After all, this place didn't give him a good feeling. He felt that his mind was suppressed.
At the same time.
In the hall where the bronze door was located.
A middle-aged man wearing a robe in the style of the Sea God Church respectfully walked to the side of a female six-armed Naga who was presiding over the ceremony, bowed slightly and said:
"High Priest Selinis, the witch formation just showed that the life fire of Commander Genis suddenly went out. Look..."
"Well, isn't Genis stationed in the Hall of Omens?"
"Rulgatz, go and take a look. If there are really intruders, you should know what to do."
"Yes, High Priest." A deep voice sounded in the corner of the bronze hall.
Then, the owner of the voice slowly walked out of the shadows.
This was a male blood-cursed naga that looked like a giant beast. He swung his unusually thick snake tail and passed through the water film.
In the hall of omen,
the rescued elites of the empire immediately picked up weapons from the dead white-scaled fishmen and blood-cursed naga, and then surrounded Ryan and walked quickly towards the hall exit.
At this time, there was a sudden explosion in front of them, and then a strong man holding an axe and shield and a young man holding a short stick retreated into the hall in a rather embarrassed manner.
He also whispered and scolded: "Alves, what are you guys doing! It took so long to explore."
It seemed that he had discovered something wrong. At this time, Batista turned his head and found that a group of people were surrounding a slightly familiar young man walking out of the hall.
Remiel, who was holding a short stick, was even more surprised, his eyes widened, and pointed at Ryan and said: "You are Ryan, why are you here?"
Batista remembered that this young man was the young man they met when they dealt with the Meister cult incident.
As the leader of the Blood Curse Naga, Stasha naturally knew that this hall was under the charge of Gnice.
But this group of humans didn't know that now, they had stepped into a trap and would soon be attacked from both sides by her and Gnice.
That's why, at the beginning, she commanded her followers to attack fiercely, but when they got into the passage, they reduced the intensity and frequency of the attack.
This team of humans was quite strong, and they would suffer a great loss if they were to fight head-on.
But at this moment, the other side was exhausted. When they entered the hall and found that it was Gnice who was waiting for them, they would be desperate, and then she could easily defeat the other side.
However, when Stasha led her followers to the entrance of the hall, she was stunned!
The scene in front of her, not only her, but also the followers behind her, were stunned at the moment!
Where is Gnice?
She actually let the elite humans who were captured and wanted to be sacrificed run out?
Now, the whole situation has reversed!
The double team they were waiting for did not appear, but instead made this exhausted human team feel like they had been injected with chicken blood. The worst thing was that the other side had also received personnel reinforcements
. Stasha instantly felt as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly alive!
Facing the sea creatures that appeared at the door of the hall at this moment.
Everyone was not afraid at all, but rather rubbed their hands, intending to avenge their previous shame.
After all, at this moment, it was equivalent to having two imperial earthshaker teams plus a sword-bearing team of personnel here. There was still a great chance of defeating the group of sea creatures in front of them!
Especially, there was also the unfathomable Lord Ryan.
At this time, suddenly, Ryan frowned and immediately turned his head to look behind him.
Then Batista and Remiel also looked back suddenly.
And the Naga leader Stasha showed a strange smile.
At the other end of the omen hall, a huge figure meandered out, and instantly, a strong and disturbing atmosphere spread.
This is an unusually tall and strong male Blood Curse Naga, at least three meters tall. The most striking thing is his left hand. On his strong arm, there seems to be a two-meter-long sharp-tailed conch.
Thanks to the 500 starting coins reward from the sea o all water!
